Recommended Posts

it usually depends on what type of music you listen to, or whether you compete in SPL

most of the time it depends on what type of music you listen to....you could tune your enclosure below or above the fs depending on what your taste in bass is...

mine is 45hz but i listen to everything. Rock, country, rap, techno.. what ever. it's pretty loud and gets pretty low but i'm going to redo the box at 40hz and see if i like it anybetter or worse.

What's the deal with more or less cubes in the box? That's my hangup. Is bigger better or more effcient or smaller more punchy. Sorry if i'm thread jacking but maybe it'll help Vinny out some too.

Well, it also depends on the box size, if it´s a veryyyy small box, even tuning @ 25 hz you wouldn´t hit the lows like a big box, take that into account; But yes, depends on your music likes most of the time, i always tune around 43 hz because i love to hear all kind of music, but, i´m gonna tune @ 33 hz my swift because i wanna hit the lows stronger now :yahoo:
